HAWAII

WE SPENT TWO DAYS HANGING LOOSE IN HAWAII. THESE PICTURES ARE FROM TRANSITING OUT OF PEARL HARBOR. THE WHITE STRUCTURE IS THE USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL WHICH SITS DIRECTLY ABOVE THE SUNKEN BATTLESHIP. THE SHIP IN THE PICTURE IS THE LAST OPERATIONAL BATTLESHIP IN THE FLEET BB-63 USS MISSOURI.

THAT'S SOME REAL ESTATE THERE...

GIANT BUDDHA

I went on a tour of the world's biggest Buddha statue while in Hong Kong. Here are some pictures.

"CRAPPIE" CHINESE FISHING BOATS FROM A FISHING VILLAGE ON THE WAY TO SEE BUDDHA.

This is the location of the only pink dolphins in the world. I saw one out in the water but wasn't fast enough to get a good snapshot.

THE WORLD'S MOST GINORMOUS BUDDHA- YOU BET YOUR BIPPIE IT'S BIG

Hong Kong Visit

The ship visited Hong Kong a few days ago. I was glad that I didn't get mad and swim home, because it turned out to be one of the best port visits yet.

Here's the one and only picture from the tiny island called Singapore I visited between 18 July and 23 July 07. There is me and Mark Hartman from the boat, posing downtown like a couple of idiots at an Navy awards ceremony.
